I do not removepkg anything intentionally.

Weekly I do (at least if there have been updates the past week)
slackpkg update gpg
slackpkg update
slackpkg install-new
slackpkg upgrade-all
slackpkg clean-system

cat /etc/slackware-version
Slackware 14.1

When I ran slackpkg sequence I did not see latest gnupg when upgrade-all.

I have couple vbox slackware vms and I see latest gnupg there and even on a file server I have I see
/var/log/packages/gnupg-1.4.19-i486-2_slack14.1
/var/log/scripts/gnupg-1.4.19-i486-2_slack14.1

How can I find out what happened to gnupg and unfortunatley whatever else that might be missing?

Thanks

Have you checked that the mirror site selected in your /etc/slackpkg/mirrors has actually been updated with the latest package?
Perhaps try a different mirror.

mirror is
ftp://carroll.aset.psu.edu/pub/linux...ckware64-14.1/

changelog there says
Wed Apr 29 05:10:52 UTC 2015

As the mirror is up to date, then perhaps you have a rule in /etc/slackpkg/blacklist that is causing the package to be ignored.

Does
show the package?

Is the patches directory included in the PRIORITY= line in /etc/slackpkg/slackpkg.conf?

allend, thank you for trying to help

That is exactly what I see on my Slackware 14.1 install, where I just upgraded to gnupg-1.4.19-x86_64-2_slack14.1.txz, without a problem.
Have you tried running 'slackpkg upgrade-all' again?
If the package still does not show, I suggest reinstalling the slackpkg package.

allend, did what you said slackpkg from the top, gnupg did not show up.

Removed slackpkg and traces
reinstalled slackpkg
ls -la /var/log/packages/slackpkg-2.82.0-noarch-12
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1656 May 2 00:31 /var/log/packages/slackpkg-2.82.0-noarch-12

slackpkg again from the top, different mirror, gnupg did not show up

slackpkg install gnupg, gnupg showed up there

ls -la /var/log/packages/gnupg*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4465 May 2 00:50 /var/log/packages/gnupg-1.4.19-x86_64-2_slack14.1

But like I said in my original post, I noticed this because it was just the one update, what else might be missing when there was more than one upgrade?

What does slackpkg reinstall slackware do? I'm wondering if that would let me know if anything is missing. Maybe I could try that in a vbox vm.


Going to bed, thanks again allend for trying.

I setup slackware 64 14.0 in virtualbox, upgraded to 14.1, got it all working.

I then did removepkg gnupg, did slackpkg update gpg, got a message saying:
gpg package not found! Please disable GPG in /etc/slackpkg/slackpkg.conf or install
the gnupg.

All the while I tried to find out why gnupg was missing I never got any message about gpg package not found even though I could not find the package on my system.

gnupg was installed but the package got deleted?

To just keep your system up to date (not upgrading the system to a new version or running -current), slackpkg install-new is generally useless as no packages are added to a stable release (as far as I remember).
For the same purpose, slackpkg clean-system is also useless as no packages are removed from a stable release. Unless you upgrade to a new version or run -current, this command is only useful to get rid of "non genuine" or "third party" packages that you would want to remove.

slackpkg update-gpg is completely useless, as stated in the manual page By the way I highly recommend that you read again "man slackpkg" and "man slackpkg.conf".

And also that you never apply a command blindly: before confirming an action, always check that what is about to be installed, upgraded or removed is exactly what you expect from the ChangeLog of from the Security Advisories.

Reading this list it seems that you upgraded from Slackware 14.0 to Slackware 14.1 on 2013-12-22. Is that right? But maybe all went well then, I don't know.

Anyhow, please check /var/log/packages/gnupg-*, you should see gnupg-1.4.17-x86_64_1slack14.1 as this was the last version shipped before 1.4.19.

PS I didn't see you last message before posting this one.

Didier, thanks for your comments, I will keep in mind what you said about slackpkg usage.

From what you posted so far (virtualbox put aside), gnupg was not deleted, just not updated to version 1.4.19 at first.

So when you ran slackpkg update-gpg, slackpkg didn't complain as a gnupg package was found, and slackpkg doesn't check the version of gnupg before using it to get the GPG key.
